Retrovirus Revisits "Descent" Gameplay Freedom

Indie developer Cadenza Interactive are working on a new first-person shooter called Retrovirus, in which players will have six degrees of freedom - much like the classic PC shooter Descent.

In development since shortly after the release of their first game, Sol Survivor, Retrovirus puts you inside the computer as you attempt to eradicate a nasty, replicating virus.

Features:

• 5 to 6 hour single player / co-op campaign
• A world designed around the unique features of six degrees of freedom movement
• Weapons designed to give players both damage and control of space
• Decision-based AI for unscripted level encounters
• DOTA-style FPS MOBA multiplayer
• Classic Domination / Deathmatch / Team Deathmatch multiplayer

If you're interested, the developers are asking for your help to finish it off. To that end, they've setup a Kickstarter page, with the goal of generating the US$75,000 needed to polish it up before release.
